My Frankentruck finally got a nice body shell. Mid motor graphite chassis T3. Novak SS4300 brushless with Novak XXL AM receiver and Futaba 2PL radio. The fast and twitchy Futaba S9550 steering servo seems faster than it's specs suggest. . PXL_20230808_132650452.jpg . PXL_20230808_132205644.jpg . bui...
